Aprilia have further honed its flagship RSV4 Factory as the 2013 model gets updated with ABS

ATC: Aprilia Traction Control, the traction control system that can be adjusted on the fly, without closing the throttle, to 8 levels thanks to a practical joystick on the left handlebar, gains even higher performing and refined operating logic

Aprilia worked in close cooperation with Bosch to define the best calibration of the ABS 9MP unit. The system, weighing in at just 2 kg, can be disengaged and adjusted to 3 different levels by easily accessing the sophisticated instrumentation control menu

Each of these 3 ABS mappings can be combined with any of the 3 engine maps (Track, Sport, Road), in order to allow riders with different experience and skill levels to find the best possible combination for their style

The possibility of adjusting the position of the engine within the frame is a peculiarity which is usually reserved for racing bikes and which sets the RSV4 apart from all the other bikes in the segment. This, together with a different adjustment of the swingarm pivot, guarantees greater stability and control of the bike in more intense braking situations

AQS: Aprilia Quick Shift, a system for extremely fast gear changes without shutting the throttle and using the clutch

The beauty of the RSV4 Factory lies in details like the finely sculpted and edgy tail section
